Save games

Hi, I'm using MacOs X, and I'm currently practicing on the Medieval style.

But I have a problem ! When I launch the game, the Savegame don't work (the dialog appears, but there's no file actually written on my Hard drive !)

Is it fixable ?

Bye !

Not until Coldstone is updated. There is a thread that addresses this problem in regards to the game PoG which was made with Coldstone. (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum61/HTML/001182.html#")The thread is located here(/url). If you follow the instructions therein you should be alright. The only caveat is that the extension for the medieval game may be different than the .pog extension for PoG.

Hopefully whenever Coldstone is updated this will be fixed.

Thank you very much, it works. For those who would fall in the same trap, here is the solution for CGE

  1. You create a file with any text editor (e.g textedit), say anything.rtf.
  2. In the finder, you rename it anything.sav
  3. when you play your game, you save it as anything.sav (in the same folder..), and you say "yes" when the dialog asks you if you want to replace the file !

After this, the saved game file works normally.

By the way, is it possible to shunt the "save dialog", saving directly from the program ?

Perhaps you could use a keydown event to save. Under "options". That's what I do.

You mean saving to a predetermined file rather than allowing the player to choose the name and location of their save file? Not that I know of.

I don't know what I'm talking about.
Oh no, here comes another learning experience.
